first time using this soap although I bought it locally across the line in Ohio. Surprisingly good soap, although I don't think it has any tallow in it.

A+ shave this fine Sunday.

Razor: Broman Razor
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: Razorock Disruptor 22mm Synthetic
Soap: Razorock XXX
Post: Alum & Aloe



I just recieved my Broman Razor in the mail yesterday and had a shave with it today the result was a very comfortable 2 pass DFS with zero irritation. I did end up with two insanely small nicks (I'm going to blame the blade for those) that healed up with the Alum Block almost instantly. I'm excited to try the razor with a sharper blade without an initial coating. The razor performed very well with the against the grain pass . I will note that after breaking the Voskhod blades in half I had to clip the longer side pieces off of the broken blade so it didn't poke out through the top of the Broman razor, other than that blade loading was a breeze.
